In the violent city of Anarchy that is called Chicago, in the corrupt county of

Cook, where the four furies of Chicago violent crime fly, their names, Tony,

Laurie, Kim, and Tim, and as they fly the nightbirds of death spit and sing, and

What are you growing? That is, when you're not thinking about stopping by the cemetery to place

office. And emergency room doctors and nurses. They're concentrating on other things.

2:43.9
